Benefits of protein for weight loss

February 9, 2023

Protein can be beneficial for weight loss in several ways. Here are a few key benefits:

  1. Satiety: Protein is more satiating than carbohydrates and fats, which means that it can help you feel full for longer periods of time, reducing your overall food intake and promoting weight loss.
  2. Thermogenesis: Protein metabolism generates more heat than carbohydrate or fat metabolism, which means that your body burns more calories processing protein. This is known as the thermic effect of food (TEF).
  3. Preservation of lean body mass: When you lose weight, you want to minimize the loss of lean body mass, such as muscle. Consuming enough protein can help to preserve lean body mass, even during periods of caloric restriction.

It's important to note that simply adding more protein to your diet won't necessarily lead to weight loss. To see benefits, you'll need to create a calorie deficit by reducing your overall calorie intake or increasing physical activity. Additionally, it's important to choose protein sources that are also low in calories, saturated fat, and added sugars. Good sources of protein include lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, lentils, tofu, and low-fat dairy products.
